Author's Note
This is the first work of fanfiction I have written. I hope it's not utter crap. Reviews and advice appreciated.
Let the story begin!
Kaori could spot her from a mile away. She was likely the tallest person in the school, but, regardless, Kaori had a special eye for her. Sakaki. Kaori thought she was the most beautiful person in existence. She could never understand why the girl thought herself ugly. Everything, including her large height and chest, was perfect in Kaori's mind. She was coming closer, walking down the hallway.
"Good morning, Kaorin," said Sakaki pleasantly.
Kaori's heart began to beat faster.
"She acknolwedged me," she thought. "She's so cool!"
"G-good morning, Sakaki-san!" she said, blushing slightly.
Sakaki smiled as she passed her in the hallway.
"I could just die right now," thought Kaori.
Sakaki walked down the familiar hallway of her school. She felt the eyes of her classmates on her. She couldn't understand why people thought her to be so cool. She was unnaturally tall, ugly, certainly not cute, and not outgoing in the slightest way.
She spotted Kaori further down the hallway.
"I should say hello to her," she thought.
"Good morning, Kaorin."
"G-good morning, Sakaki-san!"
As she walked past her, Sakaki noticed a slight blush had formed on Kaori's face as she said good morning.
"She's kind of cute," thought Sakaki as she let her mind wander as she continued walking. It was a novel thought for Sakaki, to think a person cute. Sure, Chiyo was cute, but she was an exception. Still, the thought more surprised than troubled her.
Kaori walked excitedly up to Chihiro.
"Guess what! I was walking down the hallway this morning, and Sakaki came up to me and said good morning before I even said anything," she said, animated.
"You talk about her like she's some kind of god," replied Chihiro.
"Hey! That's not nice! Sakaki's a really good person," Kaori said angrily.
Chihiro let out a small giggle. "You really seem to like her."
"Well, I guess, yeah," Kaori admitted while blushing.
Sakaki sat at her desk, waiting for class to start, staring aimlessly out the window.
"Hey Sakaki-san!" said Chiyo cheerfully, removing Sakaki from her trance.
Sakaki smiled. She wished she could be like Chiyo, so that people could have a real reason to like her. The girl was unbelievably cute, the definition of kawaii.
"Good morning," she replied softly.
"Whatcha up to?"
"Oh, just thinking."
Chiyo nodded and walked off, allowing Sakaki to return to her thoughts, to Kaori. The image of her blushing as she said good morning was still fresh in her mind.
"If people blush when they see something cute, does that mean that Kaorin thinks I'm..." she began to think, before shutting the thought out of her head. She was not cute. Nothing could change that. Still, she thought more, remembering all the times she was with Kaori.
"She's always acted kind of strange around me, maybe she does like me. Is that possible? And if it's true, do I like her? I mean, she is a girl..." Sakaki continued to think until the bell rang, and the school day began.
